Judy once had a minor cold or injury, and Susan would be very anxious and worried. However, now that Judy had almost lost her life, Susan did not show the slightest concern. Her tone seemed almost to blame Judy for being alright."Judy, is your boss seriously injured?" Susan pressed, "Where did he get hurt?"Judy just looked at Susan and countered, "Susan, why are you so concerned about my boss?"Susan was caught off guard, appearing uneasy and avoiding eye contact as she said, "You were in a car accident with your boss. What if his family blames you? Of course, I have to ask clearly."Is that so?Judy felt it wasn't that simple. Susan must be hiding something from her.Testing the waters, Judy suggested, "My boss’s ward is just up ahead, Susan, why don't you go see for yourself?"With Judy around, Susan dared not go."No need. He's your boss, and I don't know him, so why should I see him?" Susan asked uncomfortably, "Judy, are you staying at the hospital tonight?""Yes," Judy said, "
Judy really didn't know John had feelings for her, and Susan's words were a shock to her."How could that be, Susan? John is a friend, like family. That's impossible."Judy truly couldn't believe it; she always saw John as family. Moreover, he was the only one who knew about her pregnancy.John had even offered to be the godfather to the baby."John's gifts from his business trips are always different, and yours are always the most expensive," Susan said. "The only reason he buys for me is for fear that you'd refuse or feel guilty, so he gets something for me too. Judy, you're so intelligent, how can you not see John's feelings?"Susan's tone was filled with jealousy; she also had feelings for John. The three of them had been friends since childhood, but in John's eyes, there was only Judy—Susan felt like nothing but the backdrop, the green leaves to Judy's shining star. Under Judy's dazzling glow, she was never noticed.That's why Susan was jealous and envious, her heart was sensitiv
Lewis approached and looked carefully.Unconsciously, Lewis's face was almost close to Judy's face.Suddenly, Judy opened her eyes, and Lewis's handsome face was right in front of her, bathed in moonlight, with a layer of coolness.They were too close, close enough to feel each other's breath.Judy blinked, her gaze fell on his Adam's apple, only to see it rolling, very alluring.Their eyes met, and suddenly a hint of ambiguity spread in the air.His gaze shifted from her eyes to her lips, her collarbone...Her dark hair spread behind her head, and their posture was very ambiguous. From his perspective, it seemed even more familiar.The faint scent of mint on her body stirred his physiological memory, and his lips slowly approached hers uncontrollably.Judy nervously clenched her hands, her heart pounding. "Le... Lewis."Her voice pulled him back from bewilderment, and his lips stopped just a millimeter away from hers.He didn't know why he had an uncontrollable desire for her; the no
Judy had too many reservations.If she had someone to back her up, sufficient capital, she might try to date Lewis.Even if there was no future, she wouldn't care.But currently, it wasn't feasible; their statuses were too different, and he had a girlfriend – it was a matter of principle.It took Judy a long time to compose herself before leaving the restroom.Lewis was sitting on a caregiver's bed, smoking, also calming himself.Hearing footsteps, Lewis turned to look at her and extinguished the cigarette in his hand."You sleep on the bed; it's softer."Judy glanced at the hospital bed, feeling really uncomfortable about the idea – he was the patient."Sir, no need; you should sleep in the hospital bed, I'll sleep on the caregiver's bed."Lewis said in a firm tone, "That's an order."Saying so, he lay down on the caregiver's bed, leaving Judy no choice but to take the hospital bed.Judy felt guilty. Lewis had saved her life, and now she was taking his hospital bed – it seemed so wro
Lewis's phone rang; it was his family urging him. He didn't take the call, just silenced it.Lewis glanced at Judy, "Yeah, I used to have a friend living here. By the way, you should also get checked at the hospital, the company will cover the expenses."After such a serious accident, Judy didn't even want to get checked; Lewis was worried she might have internal injuries. Sometimes, one might look fine on the surface, but internal organs could have been damaged."Yeah, thanks for your concern, President."Judy watched the car drive away on the roadside and didn't turn to go upstairs until it was out of sight. Now it was almost four in the afternoon, and Judy hadn't gone to the hospital, feeling she didn't have any major issues, just a bruised knee that was now much better.Not long after Judy arrived home, John called her, "Judy, are you back from the business trip? Tonight I've invited Susan over for dinner at my place; you both need to sit down and talk things out."John didn't kno
Judy is pregnant? Susan was shocked to the core, her face suddenly paling. "When did this happen?" Susan demanded answers, "When did Judy tell you? How come I didn't know?" "You two had a fight, you blacklisted her, how was she supposed to tell you?" John said, "You two were best sisters, always told each other everything. Susan, do you know any guy Judy is familiar with? Anyone she's been close to?" John had called Susan over to find out exactly who had wronged Judy. He wanted to find that person; they must be held accountable for Judy. John loved Judy, but his love wasn't about possession; he simply wanted her to be happy. "Judy didn't tell you who the baby's father is?" Susan understood from his response. John nodded, "Judy won't say. Susan, do you know?" How could Susan not know? The baby Judy carried was surely Lewis's. Susan felt a threat. If Judy had a baby, would she go to Lewis for responsibility? Wouldn't she be done for? With a baby as her trump card, Judy could l
The meal brought back familiar feelings among the three of them.To be precise, it was Judy and John who seemed to return to old times, while Susan was completely distracted during the meal, her glances occasionally falling on Judy's belly.The thought of Judy carrying Lewis's baby unsettled her, filling her with fear and worry.Taking advantage of Susan's improved demeanor, John took the opportunity to ask, "Susan, don’t you plan on bringing your boyfriend to meet us?"Judy also said, "Why, are you still mad at me? Rest assured, I won't say anything. Seeing that you're doing so well now, I believe your boyfriend is sincere. We wish you the best.""No," Susan forced a smile and said, "He really is busy. It's not that I don’t want to bring him around to meet you, he just went on a business trip a couple of days ago... to Germany, might take a few months to return. Once he comes back, I'll definitely introduce him to you all."As she ate her shrimp, Judy casually asked, "What's your boy
John raised his hand, "I'm busy these next two days; I've got a divorce case. It's a dispute over assets between a couple, and the court session is the day after tomorrow."Susan said, "I have time, Judy, any plans? Going for a prenatal checkup? I can accompany you."She was eager to know more about Judy's baby."It's not time for a checkup yet, the doctor told me to come next month," Judy replied. "I was just asking casually.""Then I’ll come with you for your next checkup," Susan was enthusiastic. "John is a man, and he might not be as attentive to detail.""Sure, I’ll definitely call you," Judy joked. "Just don't blacklist me again.""Why would I do that?" Susan felt a bit awkward internally. "I was just upset then."After a while, Judy and Susan left John's place, with Susan insisting on escorting Judy home.Arriving at Blue Cloud community, Judy asked, "Aren’t you going to come in and sit?"But Susan stood at the door, showing no intention of entering.A sixty-plus square-meter r
